I would also beware of doing any undocumented transfer - she might try to "get you" for violating CO's new transfer law. The only family exception I'm aware of is either a "bona fide gift or loan" or via will or intestate succession. (CRS 18-12-112 paragraph 6 (b) and (c) )
I doubt that turning your firearms over to a family member to hold onto temporarily would be considered a 'bona fide gift' so you would have to find a way to construe it as a "loan." Consult your firearms attorney. Otherwise you'd have to do a 4473 on each firearm.
I can understand why a law enforcement agency would be unwilling to do this. The potential for liability on their part is enormous. Hell, read some of the stuff on LE agencies (Fed, State and local) who have enough trouble keeping track of their OWN firearms, the last thing in the world I'd do is trust them with mine.
